can cause the various sensors to be damaged and to stop
functioning.

and functions. Please read all sections of this manual carefully
and become fully familiar with the operation of the watch before
using it in the field.
Proper setup and operation will greatly enhance the watches
usefulness and your enjoyment.
The manual is divided into sections outlining each of the major
functions of the watch. A drawing of the watch screen that rep-
resents the starting point or other important screens for each
operational process are shown adjacent to the instructions for

Warnings & Cautions
WARNING: Before starting any exercise program or performing
any vigorous physical activity, we strongly suggest you visit your
doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your plans.
CAUTION: Your watch is designed to be water resistant to a static
pressure of 50 mters and can be worn while showering and light
swimming. However, we recommend that extensive use of the
unit in the water be avoided whenever possible. Care should be
taken not to press any keys while the unit is submerged as this
can force moisture past the key seals and damage the unit.
CAUTION: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme conditions for a
prolonged period of time.
CAUTION: Avoid rough usage or severe impacts to your watch.
DO NOT use hand cream as it will insulate the signal between the
skin and sensor contacts.
CLEAN the Back Cover occasionally by using a damp cloth. Then
wipe dry to remove any residual grease.
CLEAN your skin with soap and water for a better signal trans-
mission.
AVOID doing awkward motions during measurement. It may cre-
ate inaccurate heart rate readings.

 Wearing the chest strap Transmitter coding the chest strap transmitter

The Chest Strap Transmitter provides constant heart rate
information throughout the duration of your workout. To ensure
a proper heart rate display, the chest transmitter must be prop-
erly adjusted. Snap the plastic tabs at the end of the elastic belt
into the holes at the end of the transmitter and adjust the strap
so that the transmitter fits tightly below the pectoral muscles,
as shown in the drawing.
The Sportline Cardio 660 features a coded chest strap trans-
mitter with multiple channels to eliminate interference from
other heart rate monitors when exercising in close proximity to
other people, such as a group fitness class. The monitor and
chest transmitter strap are already coded and paired. If you are
experiencing interference and need to select an alternate code,
follow these steps:

1. Press the button on the chest 2

Note: In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes for a layer of
perspiration to form between the chest strap and the skin. Moistening the
electrodes with saliva or ECG conductive gel can speed up this process.

 Replacing the watch battery
The Sportline Cardio 660 watch uses a single CR2032 3v lithium
battery.
Battery replacement will be required from time to time, and
should occur when:
1. The display fades in part or completely
2. The heart rate function will not activate
3. Backlight System does not operate
To replace the battery of your Sportline Cardio 660, we recom-
mend you take it to a watch repair service center or certified
jeweler. This will ensure that the water resistance will be
retained after battery replacement.

Replacing the chest strap
transmitter battery
The Sportline Cardio 660 features a wireless heart rate trans-
mitter, powered by a CR2032 3v Lithium battery. Under normal
conditions you can expect to get approximately 300-400 hours
of heart rate transmitter use with a fresh battery. To replace the
battery:
1. Using a coin, turn the battery door counter clockwise until
the door comes free of the watch.
2. Take care not to damage the O-ring seal on the battery
compartment door and carefully remove the old battery.
3. Place a new battery in the battery compartment with the
positive (+) side toward the battery door.
4. Place the battery door over the opening and tighten it down
by using a coin and turning in a clockwise direction.
5. If the O-ring has been damaged, replace it before reinstall-
ing the battery door. Most jewelers and watch shops should
have replacement O-ring seals.
NOTE: Extreme care should be taken when replacing the battery to ensure
the unit remains fully water resistant. Failure to properly replace the battery
and correctly seal the unit may cause the unit to become damaged and may
void the warranty.

TRouble shooting
Potential causes for no Heart Rate reading or long
response time:
Cause: Dry Skin
Solution: Apply conductive gel thoroughly to chest area (for
Chest-Strap measurement). Tap water may help if conductive
gel is not available.
Solution: Make sure the chest strap is firmly over the chest and
the Watch is securely on wrist.
Cause: Dead or flaking skin on chest.
Solution: Rub off excessive dead skin with a towel
Cause: A thin layer of body grease insulates the ECG signal pre-
venting the Chest Strap or Watch from detecting ECG heart rate
Solution: Wipe chest / wrist and the back of Chest Strap/
watch with a tissue or soft towel.
Cause: Hairy Skin
Solution: Apply conductive gel to chest area or wrist.
Cause: Low Battery
Solution: Replace the battery in watch/transmitter and try
again.
Cause: Electrical field Interference from RF devices (Chest-
Strap Measurement) such as overhead power lines, etc.
Solution: Leave the area where RF source potentially exist.
Cause: Issues acquiring heart rate.
Solution: Try resetting the exercise timer which will tell the
watch to begin acquiring heart rate again (see pg. 16).
Solution: Make sure watch and transmitter strap are coded
correctly (see pg. 11).
